can i keep dd's name on waiting list?

[lifesucks]

i am taking my dd(9) out of her school.i have contacted another school but they have no places but she is on the waiting list.in the mean time i am going to homeschool her.i know i have to de-regester her at the old school but can i still keep her name on the list at other school?

i currently have my dd's name on a waiting list for a school, she should of started reception last sept but we didn't get our first choice of school, we are currently home schooling until we get a place at our preffered school, this has all been agreed through our lea.

pink did you have to contact the lea?

If you deregister her from school, then the school has a duty to inform the LA that you are home educating.
It seems to me that most parents are contacted really quite quickly after deregistration.

However if I were in your postion, i would contact the LA myself, in the interests of efficiency and making sure things happen as you want them to.

thanks julie.do you think i should wait for her old school to contact them first or should i?

In your postion I would contact them directly-make sure they know you want the places asap.

thank you julie i will.
